But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Certainly Heaven is beyond human conception and imagination… but supposing it weren't, what do you hope Heaven is like? Consider for a moment what you actually want an eternity of humble adoration and praise of God to be, and post it here.
My hope for Heaven is that I can be a spectator of all time. It is truly my great desire to observe every moment of Creation from start to finish, from the microscopic to macroscopic. I want to see every chronological event laid out before me and comprehend it. To understand every natural law, causality, mathematical principle, and why it was designed that way.
Further, and more importantly, I want to witness the full life of every person ever conceived. I desperately want to see and experience vicariously every life experience to come to understand and love every human being, ever. I want to see into their circumstances and see into their minds and motivations and learn how every person's actions influenced every other person. I want to watch the whole life of my loved ones so I can love them more and also my enemies so I can forgive them better. I want to watch my own life from a divine perspective so that I can evaluate myself and, in a sense, relive my life with the wisdom to recognize my mistakes. I want to be present at the moment of every person's death so that I can welcome them into the beatific vision and tell them "don't be afraid, it's all right now," and let them know that they were not alone…
… I know two people who died without another living soul nearby. They died trying to reach out for help and I thought about how sad and terrifying it must have been. I wished with all my heart that I could comfort them in their dying moments. God isn't bounded by time and I hope He grants my request.
I also regret that I cannot explore the depth of human creativity in my life time. If I dedicated every moment of my life to reading every story, watching every movie, and listening to every song written by man, I wouldn't touch a fraction of a measly tenth of a percent of all art. So I hope that I can indulge in every created work in my eternity, and in doing so, come to appreciate the infinitely more complex story God has been weaving.
Finally, I hope that, once every facet of mortal creation has been thoroughly explored, I can simply enjoy communion with all of my brothers and sisters and praise God for the rest of eternity, tending to a garden, maybe, with my loved ones (even my old pets), punctuated by extravagant banquets where we glorify each other, and God directly and by derivative.
